How do you find duplicate pictures within an event, in iPhoto. I merged 2 events and now it's huge and I know some are duplicates but doesn't sort it this way. One event was imported a year earlier and I just imported the other event now. When I merged, I thought it would ask me what to do with the duplicates but it didn't. It just added them together. 😕
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9), 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - is a good solution with many other useful features - Duplicate Annilator is another

Thank you. Just submitted feedback as you recommended.
I'm wondering if CleanMyMac2, which I have, may be able to do this?? Will have to check that out. If not, I'll be checking out the software you recommended.
No Clean My Mac 2 will not safely remove duplicates from iPhoto - it has destroyed many iPhoto libraries - DO NOT use it with iPhoto - in fact most experiances Mac users recommend getting rid of it totaly - just one post - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5240714 - concerning it

Good to know! Thx. So far I haven't. Have only used it for cleaning caches etc outside of iphoto.
Have only used it for cleaning caches
Do your caches get dirty somehow?
You know that "cleanng" caches actually slows your Mac down, right? And all these "cleaning" apps are evpensive and quite pointless?
To be honest, I don't know, but it did get rid of all the other language files I don't want in my computer. I read more about what LN referenced and with OS X doing a daily/weekly/monthly thing, I don't think I need to be doing this. Looks like there is no point. I guess I'll just keep it for removing obsolete programs where I can't find a uninstall file. At least it looks like it gets rid of all the stuff related to a file I don't want... dragging the app to the trash bin doesn't do this.

That action cannot be reversed, and will result in a corrupted and unmaintainable system. I hope you created a backup before doing so.
Localization files account for an insignificant amount of disk space. Never use CleanMyMac, or anything like it, to do anything.
That was quite awhile ago and so far everything is good but I will definitely take your advise in future. Thank you.
... and yes, I have a back up as I learned my lesson the hard way one time. 😢
